	I feel incredibly stupid. I can't believe how incredibly stupid I 
am, I never even thought of checking the library. I can't believe how 
stupid I am!!!!! <-- look, 5! Thank you for correcting the title, slipped 
my mind. I was pretty close though:) And thank you for reminding me of 
the most wonderful invention of mankind, the library! I still can't 
believe I never thought of checking the library......

	I'm not sure, but I think so. There's always been people here 
talking about making our own country. We could do it too, we've got 
plenty of natural resources, and Hollywood:)

     I've been on this mailing list for few weeks now at least, and I'm even
part of a group allready(The Ladies in Green).  Anyway, it just occured to me
that I never made a formal introduction.  So here goes.  My name is Sarah.
 I'm 14, and I go to Fay School in Southboro Mass.  I live in Hopkinton Mass.
 I am young, but I have read so many of Misty's books, I can't even count
them piled up in my room. 
      Allright, here's my story:  When I was younger I never used to read, at
all!  All my sisters used to read so much and they thought I was realy wierd,
even though I had dislexia(I hope thats spelled right).  Anyway early last
summer I was so sick of being nagged on that I said I'd read one.  At the
time they were throughing Arrows of the Queen down my throat, so I read it.
 The first half of the book took about a month to read.  The second half took
over night.  I finished the trilogy within the week, and all of the Valdamar
books within a month and a half!  After that I was very depressed because I
thought those were the only books I would ever find that I liked.  Boy was I
wrong!!!  Misty realy opened me up to my own imagination. 
          I love the way she can just use femails and gay people, and make
them heros.  I was never able to find any kind of books like that before I
found Misty.  Anyway, I have 2 very good friends.  One of them just came out
of the closet.  I was fine with it, I was happy for her because for a while
befor then I could feel there was something realy wrong bothering her.  But
my other friend freeked.  Apparently she couldn't handle it, and that just
made my other friend even more scared of her situation, and herself.  While I
tried to help her I gave the Last Herald Mage Trilogy to my other friend.  I
don't know if she read it or not, but I think she did because she came and
appoligized for the way she acted.  Everythings fine now.  I seriously don't
know how I would have reacted if I hadn't allready read Vanyal's storys.  And
likewise I don't know what would of happened to my friend if I was not there
to help her get through it(her parents were no help).  Oh Well, I guess  I
owe a lot to Misty.  Anyway thats a very eddited vertion of my life.

	Sounds like me and all of my books. I have all mine right by my 
reference books for school. Actually, considering how much I've used them 
to look things up since I joined the list, I guess they are reference 
books. Anyways, welcome! I had wondered where you came from, and was 
beginning to think I was going crazy because I didn't remember you.

Sorry, when I meant "recently", I meant recently with the Dead Sea 
Scrolls.  I know there were many books that have been around since they 
were first written, but once these scrolls were found they found 
additions to some of the books.

Far as I know, except for changes in translation, the canon

But which Canon are we talking about?  The Catholic Canon, the Hebrew 
Canon, or the Protestant Canon.  The Protestant tend to stay with the 
order as the Hebrew, but stay with the content of the Catholic.

  Now, I may

Uhm, as far as I know, you are. :) California came into the Union around the
time of the War between the States, and before that it was a territory. We
got it from Mexico.  But as far as I know, it was never it's own country.
